The saga of Youri Tielemans’ potential transfer to Arsenal has dragged on since the end of the last season all the way to the beginning of the new campaign. However, recent developments could finally settle the Belgian’s future.
Manchester United were reported to be the biggest competitor for Arsenal when it came to fighting for Tielemans’ signature. However, David Ornstein from The Athletic has reported that the Red Devils are working on a deal to Adrien Rabiot from Juventus.
With Rabiot and Frenkie de Jong in the forefront of Manchester United’s minds, it gives Arsenal the needed boost in confidence to get the Tielemans deal over the line. The Belgian has shown throughout his career why he would be the ideal signing for the Gunners.
